Willens, DeFalco Win FTI Technical Awards

The sixth annual FTI Technical Achievement Awards were presented to engineer Dave Willens of Kinefac Corporation and Paul DeFalco of Computer Insights Inc.

The awards have been presented annually since 2006 by Fastener Technology International magazine.

Willens was nominated for his role in developing the Thread Rolling Radial Die Load & Rolling Torque equations, which advance thread rolling practice.

Willens researched past information provided by the late Kinefac founder Howard Greis and other Kinefac engineers. Willens developed more precise methods for determining the radial die load and torque required to roll a thread of any geometric form, pitch and material at any rate of die penetration. His formulas eliminate the guesswork for machine sizing of customers’ applications in the most cost-effective manner. Web: kinefac.com

DeFalco was nominated for development of the iOS  – iPhone, iPad & iPod – and Android app for vendor managed inventory. The system has advantages for users of Computer Insights’ Business Edge 2.0 fastener tracking software and also works on a regular PC. Web: ci-inc.com
